Cause its not NISMO powered, if they threw a T on the end it would kick all those cars.

It'll need more than just a few NISMO goodies.

True, but that's why I mentioned adding a T (as in SR20DET). It already looks far better than the SRT-4 or the Focus, and a little better than the Protege.

NOT gonna happen!The DET won't bolt up to the SpecV transmission.The SR engines are nearing the end of their production.And the QR gets better gas mileage and has lower emissions that the SR.

Now a Super Charger would be nice.

Okay, whatever, I was just saying they'd kick the a55 of the other cars with a T. Chill man. A QR-T would be cool too, superchargers take power away from the crank, that's no fun. They could use a Sunny transmission if they sent the SR20DET here anyway, you don't have to use the SE-R transmission.

A QR25DET would be nice, but I still prefer the SR20DET. And afaik the regular SE comes with the SR20 so it wouldn't be too hard to just turbo that now would it...

BTW: Subculture I love that NX...

The efficiency of a supercharger is usually better than a turbo. As in, the percent of power loss to create boost is lower with a supercharger.

Not anymore. I believe 01 was the last year of the SR. The SE's use a 2.5.
